This week, host Jason Jefferies is joined by writer, activist, pastor and storyteller John Pavlovitz, who discusses his book Worth Fighting For: Finding Courage and Compassion When Cruelty is Trending, which is published by our friends at WJK Books. Topics of conversation include the dual roles of activist and pastor, bad news, the default mode of existence in a capitalist society as antithetical to human nature, waiting for a superhero or savior when one isn't coming, the toxic cocktail of outrage addiction and cultivated worry, mistaking activity for productivity, legislative goals, and much more. Signed copies of Worth Fighting For can be ordered here from Page 158 Books, and each purchase comes with a signed print.
